It was a tough call between the Dodgers and D-backs in the NL West. I think the Dodgers have the best balance when taking into account speed and power, starting pitching, and relief pitching.
However, Arizona has speed and power as well and a 1-2 in Webb and Haren that might be the best in the NL.
I'm not completely sold on Brandon Lyon at closer. His Sox tenure shaped that perception. But sometimes teams without elite closers can win the division. If Cleveland and Borowski aren't a testament to that, nothing is.
